London to Tilbury: what to know
Tilbury's London International Cruise Terminal is the closest cruise port to London, on the Thames in Essex. Trains from Fenchurch Street reach Tilbury Town, but the terminal is a separate short journey from the station.
A car goes from your London address straight to the terminal along the A13, usually in about an hour.
The usual route is the A13 east along the Thames.
